The Hayden Bridge is a wrought-iron truss bridge that was manufactured by the Phoenixville Bridge Works in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It was built in 1882 and was initially located near Corinne, Utah, crossing the Bear River as part of the first transcontinental railroad. In 1901, the bridge was moved more than 1,000 miles (1,600 km) and reassembled at its present location, crossing the McKenzie River in Springfield, Oregon, where it serves as part of the Marcola line for the distribution of lumber. It later closed down due to the closure of the area's lumbermills, until it was converted into a pedestrian bridge in 2019. It is the oldest intact bridge in the state of Oregon. This photograph of the Hayden Bridge was taken as part of a 1990 Historic American Engineering Record survey. Photograph credit: Historic American Engineering Record; restored by Jeff G. and Bammesk
